| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 02:14 PM PDT Hey all, my name is Jude and I've been involved in the meditation world for 17 years. I actually had a stint writing meditations for Calm and also work closely with another ADHD meditation teacher named Jeff Warren. It's clear to me that most styles of meditation are akin to torture for someone with ADHD, so I made this practice exploring how we can better understand ADHD and work with it more effectively. Let me know what you think and feel free to ask any questions. If you find the video helpful check out my others, I got lots of meditation content and some other stuff that might be helpful including a video on self-love :) Edit: THANK YOU ALL so much for the love. I really appreciate the positive feedback, it took a lot for me to put myself out there and start a channel, for the first month I didn't tell anyone I knew because I was very self-conscious. I plan to keep posting regularly so if you're interested please subscribe to my channel. Thank you :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 01:15 PM PDT Looking after your wellbeing is the most important thing that you can do to make the world a more peaceful place - when you're stressed you have more difficult interactions with others, they impact others and so on. So how do you prioritise your mental health? Through the choices you make in every moment, and these can be big, life-changing decisions and the little decisions we face in every moment. For example when considering a new job, we might look at it and say that it's stressful and long hours, but a good step in our career and will lead to us being happy - at some point. But another option could allow us to enjoy our career and won't take us away from the things that are good for our mental health like our family, friends and mindful activities. By making our peace the top criterion in our big and little decisions, we can lead more peaceful and happier lives. [link] [comments] |

| I'm meditating regularly, but why doesn't it feel like I do? Posted: 19 Sep 2020 09:56 AM PDT I've made a point to meditate everyday, have been doing it without fail for about 7 months now. Unfortunately, I could not be mindful of the present like I used to during the early days. My meditation sessions have been quite mindless for quite some time now. It's really a problem that affects me in many aspects of life. Eventually, I get bored of whatever I've been doing consistently and if I keep repeating it, the result gets incrementally worse. I can try to force myself to do well but that won't last long. Then comes the part where I start to question whether its worth spending time doing it, instead of something else new and exciting. I won't stop meditation, its what keeps me under control. Just wish that it isn't mostly a daydreaming session. Sorry if this looks like a rant. Feel free to comment on your experiences.

| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 09:24 PM PDT I just realized in meditation how the mind is constantly trying to bait you into a reaction by trying different things that usually catches your attention and how social media such as Facebook is doing the exact same thing. This is why social media is so addictive. Because it mimics the minds natural behavior so well. What do you think? [link] [comments] |
| Guided meditation video made me cry, should I avoid? Should I meditate again after crying? Posted: 19 Sep 2020 05:28 PM PDT Today I did a 10 min, guided meditation on YouTube. I'm a newbie to meditation and I've only ever done 3-5 minutes non-guided a handful of times. In the past, I'd feel relaxed and free of all the bad emotions I had felt earlier after 3-5 minutes. This time, I felt very strongly pulled into the meditation and began straight up sobbing towards the end of the session. I think it started when the video began telling me to repeat affirmations (like "You are strong", "You are able to be positive, despite your circumstances", etc.) Should I meditate again without the video? Now that I'm done sobbing? Should I avoid this particular guided meditation video? Is this growth or should I avoid? Thank you so much. [link] [comments] |
| You can't think and feel at the same time... (Stress reduction tip) Posted: 19 Sep 2020 06:07 PM PDT Well this might be a little silly, but a fun experiment to try.
You may notice that it's extremely difficult to focus on both the feeling and the thinking. It's a little akward really, I tried, but felt my mind "flipping" as though it could not process the thinking and feeling "mode" at the same time. Kinda made me giggle. Next time you're feeling anxious or stressed, try to feel your anxiety. Don't think about ... Or if you do, realize that you are thinking and exercise to switch to "feeling". It may take a little practice, but it's really a simple and useful tool for reducing feelings of stress. You may also feel naturally relaxed as you feel your body. Don't limit yourself to just the hands, as you get better feel your jaw, neck, shoulders... Would love to hear about your experience. Blessings. [link] [comments] |
| My best read ever- INNER GAME OF STRESS BY TIM GALLWEY Posted: 19 Sep 2020 07:03 PM PDT As a basketball player who is full of self-doubt, overthinking and over evaluating surroundings when playing basketball, this book changed my life. This is the key to life in my opinion. It may sound a bit crazy but I mean that. I'm done talking about it, take my word for it and give it a read [link] [comments] |
| Where did I go when I disassociated? Posted: 19 Sep 2020 03:08 PM PDT I had to quit smoking weed after years of fun cos I started having super derealization/depersonalization (maybe as a side effect of panic attacks?). I felt complete dispair and existential dread and it felt like everything and everyone I remembered was gone and never existed except in my memory and I was in an empty universe by myself. Except I wasn't myself, not as a person. I was just a consciousness in this empty universe. These lasted maybe 5 or 10 seconds before I came back and it happened maybe 2 dozen times over a week or 2 then I just didn't buy anymore weed and I was ok. After a few years I cautiously started smoking again and after months of heavy use I was fine but know I could take myself to that place again if I tried. I quit a second time last week tho cos I wanna enjoy lucid dreaming again and weed prohibits me from doing this. Now I'm wondering what happens if I go back there. But this time voluntarily and stay there a while and see what happens (if I can handle it that is). Is this is the place some people spend years meditating to get to? Or the ego perhaps? Or maybe its dangerous to go there? What do you guys think? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 11:09 PM PDT Why do so few members use their actual name in their profile handle? i.e, u/clever-expression. Mine is u/jack_ritter. That's me. What am I missing? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 04:17 PM PDT I hope everyone is doing great and staying healthy! Question; how often do you meditate? I'm curious to see the trend on this question. Is it ideal to do it daily? Appreciate your input! Love & Light ;) [link] [comments] |
| The Presence Process by Michael Brown Posted: 19 Sep 2020 11:01 AM PDT Has anyone done it? What were your experiences with it? I've had the book for many years and read it but I never fully committed to the process. It sits on my book shelf collecting dust but I think when the time is right in my life, I'm ready and I can handle the emotional upheaval, I'll pick the book up and go through the process. I've often read that if you've had childhood trauma, this is one such process that will resolve it once and for all if you can handle it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 09:22 PM PDT I've meditated before, always for less than 10 minutes and very unsuccessfully. This time was different. I have been spending a lot of time as of late learning about myself, my energy, the energy around me, and my place in the universe. This is what I wrote about my first real meditation in my grimoire: I saw swirling purple, which then evolved into a swirl with blue, green, yellow, and orange. There were pulsating circles and silhouettes of flapping wings. While focusing deeply on these visuals, I heard a very distinct sound between a hum, ring, and buzz. When I focused on it, it left me however when I focused on the visuals it came back. I believe my crown chakra is unlocking as this is the first time I have meditated in this way, for this long. I'm having a spiritual awakening and learning about the universe through my non-tangible self. I now I'm sure that I am on the right path with my energy and my spiritual journey. (I had a pet bird suddenly pass today, and I think the wings flapping was her reassuring me that she's ok) I have a few questions: Does it sound like I was close to astral projecting? I feel like I was, but my boyfriend called for me and I came back. Does anyone have any other interpretations they would like to share with me? What does the sound I heard mean to you? Have you ever heard that sound? [link] [comments] |
| dreams/vision during meditation Posted: 19 Sep 2020 09:20 PM PDT hi! I have really bad anxiety and have been trying to meditate and today I had a weird experience. I started with a guided mediation where I focused on breathing then switched to relaxing guitar music. I kept breathing deeply and all of a sudden I had a vision of me drying my hands in my washroom from my eyes point of view. I quickly snapped out of it but it was a strange experience that now made me even more anxious. does anyone have an explanation! [link] [comments] |
| Is there a way to access archives of previous live meditations on Insight Timer? Posted: 19 Sep 2020 08:44 PM PDT |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 02:44 PM PDT I'm not sure how to work past this. My tinnitus is steadily growing worse and now any time I try meditating without music or guidance, the ringing in my ears is too noticeable and distracting. How do I either relieve the ringing or get to a point where I can ignore it? I can't meditate with it happening and it's extremely frustrating. Even as I type this the ringing is almost overwhelming [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 08:30 PM PDT Even though as the years went by stress and Anxiety became the norm for everyone I refused to think that it was something that I just had to live with. Check out my YouTube video if you too want to take back the power that you Definitely have to fight against these tiring emotions.) [link] [comments] |
| Help with visualisation technique Posted: 19 Sep 2020 10:28 AM PDT I took up meditation a month back to keep myself sane during Covid. It has worked wonders. I have been trying to pick up the visualisation technique, but I am not sure how to go about it. Some context here - I have a very important exam in 2 months and I want to visualise success for it. I've read visualising success scenarios as well as worse case scenarios helps a lot on the D- day Can someone help me figure out how to go about this the right way? TIA. Appreciate your help.

| Internal battle is bigger then I think Posted: 19 Sep 2020 02:54 PM PDT How do you face up moments of ego blacklash? Recently I'm realizing how much I can't trust myself, and it's way deep that I cant even imagine, change own behavior is being challenge and it cost a lot moments of blacklash, my mind aways find some way to trick me to shout these changes down. Everytime after doing a awesome progress discovering new ways to explore my own mind bias (even days or weeks after psycodelics trips) my internal defender tricks me shouting hard feelings and wishes to distract me from the new knowledge of it self. Everything was going right today at wake up, all my routine was set up, go to the gym, make meals which I know it will provide me good nutrients, do a 10 minutes daily meditation, and go to work etc... But in the back of my mind is being running secondary thoughts about what I've being learning sinse my last trip (week ago) and questioning it self. When I thought everything was going right as it suppose to be minding that self questioning it self would be a good thing but, apparently my own bias didn't like it and started to show me old memories and depressive feelings, so all my plans of the day goes to shit and I ended up in home stuck in a negative feeling loop. I know that the best way to overcome this stage would be have some one to trust to talk about it (like a professional therapist), but the conditions at the moment I'm alone and I can't afford a professional service to support me in the way that I need/want. Interesting thing that I'm confirming Everytime more is how the human logic its so little comparing with emotion system and self bias, it's literally a battle with yourself who you are your biggest enemy and he know every move that you intend to do and obviously he is one step away all the time. That's why is so hard for me overcome unlike behaviors and addictions, it's like touch something that doesn't what to be touched, only the desire isn't good enough to keep going up cause even desires is controlled by "him" if "he" wants. Anyways this is a short report of my actual stage, any tips, perspective and tricks coment would be welcome :) take care [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 02:40 PM PDT how has you benefited from your practice. what the simplest and greatest benefits? I know you have to not to distract yourself with benefits-seeking attitude. but this mindest in itself is a benefit in my opinion. so think deeply and tell me what this habit makes good for you so it is truely deserved to be in the good habits category [link] [comments] |
